What is a Tael (Shanghai / Mainland China)? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The Shanghai or metric tael is exactly 50 grams, the rounded unit adopted in mainland China after metrication. Locally it is written 市两 (shìliǎng). One tael (shanghai / mainland china) equals 50 grams, or 1.60754 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — MYR.
Where it is used. Shanghai Gold Exchange contracts settle in kilograms, but retail shops and traditional dealers still speak in 市两 of 50 g, and 50 g bars are a popular gift and savings format. The unit is the trading standard in mainland China.
Pricing conventions. Mainland quotes are set against the SGE benchmark in yuan per gram; converting to a dollar price per 50 g tael is the usual way to compare Shanghai with London and see whether China is paying a premium. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
Good to know. The metric tael is noticeably heavier than the Hong Kong tael (50 g vs 37.429 g) — the two are not interchangeable, and confusing them overstates a price by a third.

Buying Platinum in Malaysia: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per tael (shanghai / mainland china), the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into Malaysian Ringgit. Physical buyers in Malaysia pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Kuala Lumpur, with Poh Kong and Habib the largest retail chains. Buyers there generally watch the Bank Negara Kijang Emas price in ringgit as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium are freely traded with no consumption tax, though liquidity is much thinner. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in MYR can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same tael (shanghai / mainland china) of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Malaysia are Poh Kong and Habib outlets, bank gold investment accounts (GIA), online dealers and Islamic gold accounts. The products most often quoted locally include Kijang Emas coins, 1 g to 100 g bars, 916 jewellery.
Local conventions. 916 (22K) jewellery dominates retail and Shariah-compliant gold accounts must settle on a spot basis under BNM rules. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per tael (shanghai / mainland china) with the live platinum price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline MYR quote.
